Tweaks to death by inactivity The new adoption and custody request systems solved a lot of troubles that we had in the old version. However, we have seen a few unneccessary deaths of kids in V2, when the request wasn't made 4 weeks before the parent died of inactivity. As of now, we're trying to prevent this by making sure that kids aren't "retired" until five days after their parent. That should give the system time to automatically accept any pending requests. Expect that to occur within 24 hours of the parent's death.
